Editor's Notes
- The world is changing. ⏎ To demonstrate this, do you know why this photo is famous? ⏎ Here’s a hint. This is a photo of a man getting his boots polished⏎ The photo is of a busy street in Paris in 1838. However, because the exposure time was over 10 minutes the traffic was moving too much to appear. However, because the man getting his boot polished was still he inadvertently became the first human to be ever photographed. “Boulevard du Temple”, taken by Daguerre in late 1838 or early 1839 in Paris, was the first photograph of a person. The image shows a street, but because exposure time was over ten minutes, the traffic was moving too much to appear. The exception is the man at the bottom left, who stood still getting his boots polished long enough to show.” - Wikipedia
- I’ve done a lot of advising now and have found that there are some very common questions asked. Let’s look at 4 I get asked about all the time
- For ICT the professional body is the Australian Computer Society
- On their website they also have a PDF download called the ICT Career Wheel. It shows the wide variety of career opportunities open to graduates with ICT skills. It also means that graduates have considerable mobility in their career choices and can move from one field to another. As a personal example, I used to develop databases for companies whereas now I develop mobile apps. I never dreamt that I would be developing mobile apps … probably because they didn’t exist until 2006.
- So in summary, the School of Computing Engineering and Mathematics at Western Sydney University has award winning staff and students is located in the growth area of Western Sydney Our graduates in ICT and Engineering can attract high salaries And some ICT graduates with an entrepreneurial flair can get high salaries located anywhere in the world Much of our research is at world standard or above And we provide our students with lots of support while studying and when looking to start their career
- Our courses have opportunities for students to work in industry such as ICT practicum and Industrial Experience in engineering
- Of course, just knowing about the opportunities doesn’t guarantee that the student will provide a good resume or do well at the interview. Fortunately, we have an excellent careers unit.
- Here’s an example of how proof, showing evidence, can help get someone a job. Jay is an engineering graduate who headed up our first attempt at the World Solar Car challenge in 2013. Let’s see what this experience did for his career …

- ICT skills get a special mention because they can be used to earn a large income no matter where the person is living. As an example, an engineer based in India is likely to be on a lower salary than an engineer in Australia. However, a savvy ICT entrepreneur in India could earn the same income as an ICT entrepreneur based in any other country because they both have access to global markets.

- To examine salaries in finer detail Hays provides free salary guides in a wide range of discipline areas including
- engineering
- And ICT. The reports provide average salaries for different disciplines in different locations in Australia
- For example, in Sydney a Network administrator could expect an average salary of $85,000 Australian dollars per year while a Network designer could expect around $120,000
- For example, in Sydney a Network administrator could expect an average salary of $85,000 Australian dollars per year while a Network designer could expect around $120,000
- Greater Western Sydney boasts Australia's third biggest regional economy, with annual output of nearly $100 billion and the Australian government has designated western Sydney as a growth area. More than 150 of Australia’s top 500 companies are located in Western Sydney and small businesses are also thriving, with more than 160,000 small and medium enterprises located here. http://crudeoilpeak.info/nsw-transport-master-plan-debates-conventional-oil-peak-2006-assumes-continuing-oil-age
- Of course, the skills developed in these courses can be applied elsewhere and there are ample opportunities within rapidly growing nations. https://www.flickr.com/photos/worldbank/6893619011
- We also have strong partnerships with local industry from small businesses through to multinationals like CISCO
- Which provides free workshops, advice and support for both domestic and international students.

- Our students engage with the world through student exchanges (just as we welcome students from other countries to engage with us.

- Our engineering research is recognised at and above world standard
- For civil, electrical, electronic, materials and mechanical engineering
- Our staff and students continue to win a wide range of awards. Here is just a small sample … http://www.uws.edu.au/scem/school_of_computing_engineering_and_mathematics/scembytes/western_sydney_students_have_fun_exploring_math_it

- Industrial awards

- Sorry – had to add myself in here winning an award at the world brand congress in Mumbai http://www.uws.edu.au/scem/school_of_computing_engineering_and_mathematics/scembytes/western_sydney_students_have_fun_exploring_math_it
- And recently, one of our lecturers received the prestigious Australian Computer Society Educator of the Year. Anton one this by transforming a subject on Computer Programming fundamentals with a high failure rate and which students struggled with into a subject that students enjoyed and became engaged with. Even my own son, who completed the subject, told me he deserved the award because he got me interested in programming.
- We also have a wide range of support available for students, such as the WISE program, Women in Science and Engineering, which teams up female students in STEM with experienced industrial mentors.
- Of course, just knowing about the opportunities doesn’t guarantee that the student will provide a good resume or do well at the interview. Fortunately, we have an excellent careers unit.
